A DISH OF SALAD.

There seems to be disposition on the
part of Secretary LAMAR to throw the
indemnity land matter On the shoulders
OF Attorney General GARLAND. May
be, after all, Mr.. LAMAR's backbone Is
hardly stiff enough for supreme judge.

1t is safe to wager that the story about
a Dakota judge opening his court with
prayer is bald-headed canard.
1t seems that Gen. ALLEN is one of
old SIMON CAMERON'S victims-OStra-
cised and forced to leave Pennsylvania
because of his opposition to the old
ringster-and now there is a rumor
afioat that Hon. CHARLES S. WOLFE
another victim-is coming out to join
him. This ought to be good certificate
of character for each of them.

There is no hope for Judge FRANCIS,
even though he should refuse to resign
and the senate fail to confirm his sue
cessor. He can accomplish nothing by
trying to hang Oh and do the bulldoZing
act.

A patriotic landlady has opened a
boarding house at Washington and
named it the Dakota house. 1t will be
voted blessing if she can corral all
territorial visitors who come to the cap
ital. for then the correspondents will
know where to find them. She may be
able to do this if she will invent spe-
cial brand of Dakota hash.

The Fargo land office has made de-
mand for more clerks. The indemnity
land rush has largely increased the
business, which has probably accu-
mulated.
Next Tuesday will decide the division
question, so far as Dakota is concerned
Then it will be confided 10 the tender
mercies of a Democratic house and a
Republican senate.

A telegram reading something like this
is alleged to have been sent from the
Pioneer Press Office to Editor PIERCE,
at Bismarck, last Saturday: What III
HI is the matter with you? GLOBE
scoops us on all important Dakota news
to-day"
The issues involved in the election OF
Tuesday are clearly brought out and eX
planned in an article in another column
-
Fargo and Pierre are in pretty much
the same fix. If prohibition carries
MOorhead is likely to draw a large
amount of trade from Fargo and
cripple its commercial interests; and il
the case of Pierre, new town would
probably be built just acr0sst he river as
soon as the reservation opens. Bibu-
lously-inclined men must have theil
liquor, and good many of them would
swim a river to get it.

WahpetOn and GrOtOn are struggling
with pOstoffice problems. The Repub
lican officials of these places are about
the last of the Mohicans in Dakota, 81
far as presidential appointments arr
concerned.
Mai. BOWEN has developed a vein OF
righteousness which was not suspected
and dubs Capt. BATES the Tom OCHIL
TREE of Dakota. The major does no
cover his tracks very well, Though. by
this course. He only adds to his repu
tatiOn as dOdger.
There is another nut for Edito
PIERCE to crack this week-and it is
fresh one. He resolutely refuses t,
answer the score or more of question
propOunded to him through the GLoBI
for the last five or six weeks. Now, lie
him tell the public why he signed lille
gal warrants for $4,000 to meet militi;
expenses. He can have the able assist
ance of his old henchman, CALDWELL
and this may make it easier for him.
